Loads of Tea Party protests that are much, much smaller get much, much more attention. So do pro-Israeli protests. Not that I fully, completely endorse this action but I cannot stand how utterly dishonest this jab of yours was. Others should have already slapped you for this Faux News-like lie.

Why are so few people paying attention to this protest? Well, it might just have something to do with the low level of participation in the event.
From what I've heard, there have been, at most, about a thousand protesters - but usually only "a few hundred" - at any given time (they call themselves "The 99.0%" - but, as a percentage of NYC's population, they might be more appropriately called "The 0.01%").
The numbers are insignificant.
By way of contrast, in Wisconsin earlier this year, there were protests (in the relatively tiny Madison) of up to 100,000 people at a time. That got a fair amount of coverage (here in the neighboring state of Minnesota, it was in the news constantly).
